Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 white onion diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced

  8. Leave the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes, then add about ¾ of the Pecorino cheese and stir it into the sauce.
  9. Stir the cooked pasta into the mushroom sauce.
  10. Remove the creamy mushroom pasta from the heat and top with the lemon juice, grated pecorino cheese, and chopped parsley.
  11. Enjoy!

Notes

This mushroom pasta is best served fresh immediately after cooking it. However, it also stores well as leftovers.
Allow the recipe to cool fully before transferring it to an airtight container and storing it in the refrigerator for between 3 - 5 days. 
If you wanted to freeze this recipe, I would recommend making the mushroom pasta sauce, but without the pasta. Then, defrost fully and reheat, stirring cooked pasta in just before serving.
